FW: Sept. 11th a Memorial AffirmationThanks Anne and others, I sent one to major newspapers and politicians -- give no one authority to kill on my behalf..... similar to children of Northern Ireland who sent similar thoughts last November to their government.

Sept. 11th. If you wish to join me, please communicate your views publicly in whatever way you choose. I have sent this letter to several newspapers, and to my Congress people and to you. Blessings, Anne Sept. 11th, Memorial Affirmation: On Sept. 11th, 2001, the terrorists chose death. The rescuers and many of us who rushed to help chose love and life. A fitting memorial to those who died on 9/11 would be for each of us to make the choice the rescuers did. Here is how I want to honor those who died: I say: Enough war. Enough killing. I give my gifts to creating a world without war. I accept my responsibility for the well-being of the human family and the larger living world. I want my government leaders to use our treasure on behalf of life. I say to them: Don't make the same choice the terrorists did. Stop making war. Bend every effort to provide safety through building a just, sustainable and peaceful global society. I would rather accept the risks of change in this direction-just as they did who rushed in to rescue people on Sept. 11, 2001. Sincerely yours, Anne M.
